Very Comfy

Penny Shack was spotless and very comfy with everything you need. Great position overlooking the ocean onto the mainland - walking distance to the beautiful beach. We thoroughly recommend staying here.

Comfortable and well equipped cottage. Next time, I’d stay a couple of nights in Penneshaw and a couple at Flinders Chase NP area due to long distances to drive to and fro the amazing southern ocean etc.

The perfect beach house - I could spend all day sitting on the deck watching the bees & the small birds in the lavender & of course the magnificent view of the bay. Penny Shack is a short walk to the main street & the beach. The hosts have styled the house beautifully & didn't forget to provide plenty of useful items (dishwasher tablets, washing powder, dishwashing liquid, etc). I hope to return

Great location and views.Beautifully styled cottage.Description included dryer which was not supplied. BBQ covered in cobwebs, rusty and disgusting. Other smaller things like smoke detector left open without battery, exposed light switch in bathroom, broken kitchen bin and broken blind. These things have been brought to the owners attention, and they said they would attend to them.Back garden is not fenced and not in good condition.The cottage has some other functional problems (rug interfering with bedroom door closing, shower shelf set too high, 'Penny Shack' sign set low - so be careful not to hit your head on it (we did 3 times).Despite all these negatives, the place is comfortable, clean, well presented and has a great outlook.
